Today I would like to talk about one of the finest talents to come out of England in a long time. But first to people that will come on here and say don’t put pressure on the young lad (Well that’s a joke) Jack Wilshere thrives on pressure and he did that night when we beat Barcalona and the likes of Iniesta and Xavi couldn’t cope with the lad from Hitchin. The media and his fellow football professionals has set the bar for him already so my little blog im sure will not add any more on his shoulders. Jack Wilshere is absolute class and Liam Brady, one of Arsenals finest ever midfield players, has come out very open and said we have something very special here. Read more...

Today I want to talk about a complete football performance from a man who I, and I’m sure a few others, have believed in but also been frustrated with. I don’t know what Wenger gave the lads for breakfast but it was a whole new team out there. From Arteta to Santi Cazorla making the midfield their own and the defensive display was also much improved where Gibbs now holds his position and Vermaelen and Mertersacker bossed all. But going back to a man who has seen more of the injury table than Jimmy Bullard (Abou Diaby). This lad has had many critics in his days at Arsenal but on his day every one of us has seen what he is capable of doing. This blog is not about getting over excited about one good game but it’s about hats of to a young lad that can be a tremendous talent. Read more...

Today I would like to write a very small blog to some of the mindless attack merchants about their comments towards a German international with over a hundred caps for his country. Lukas Podolski is only 27 and has been playing at a high standard for a few years now and some of the people that slate the guy I question their whole knowledge and back ground on the game itself.

So Robin has flown the nest. The man who stated he loves the club has gone to bitter rivals Manchester United. So how are we all feeling today knowing we sold one of our best player to United? I have a season ticket and I can tell you I’m sick as a fxxxing pig. Read more...

Selling Van Persie to Manchester United (Its suicidal) And players need to learn respect.
by John Collard

Hello Gooners.

Its not great business and its not anything that any of the Arsenal fans would want (So why sell him to united). Its really getting beyond the joke should this sale of our skipper take place. I think I speak for the majority of normal headed Arsenal fans that only selling him abroad can only be our option should Robin really wish to leave. Read more...

Hello guys. Today I would like to move in a more positive note and ask what your favourite memories from your support of Arsenal are. It don’t matter if you are 12 or 100. It’s about time we had a blog that makes everyone agree on fond memories. This blog is for you to mention your best moment of being a Gooner, should it be a funny moment or even a signing.

Today I would like to moan about this 5 minute wonder football club Manchester City. I could also go on about Chelsea football club, but then this blog may as well be a full-on book. I have just read the comments from Vincent Kompany and other words from their manager about how much they want Robin Van Persie and how great he will make them. It seems to me Roberto Mancini is turning into a spoilt little brat. I remember the silent days of his first season in charge wearing that scarf like he has supported them all his life. Maybe a tad like Jackie Chan wearing the Man City top for the papers last week. Read more...

Today I’ve been reading some very interesting articles. It would now seem our little Russian may still have a future at Arsenal football club. Now to be honest, in my opinion, the little guy deserves another chance. But I want your views on this situation, would you send him on his way?

The characteristics of this guy on the football pitch at times frustrates us all (Agreed). But I really believe this guy can offer great value as a squad player. On the down side he can be sublime one minute and a complete lazy waste of space the other. So is it, for you guys, a risk worth taking? Read more...
